Stephanice Washington: Being homeless, not knowing when you got to go, taking your income, spending the whole income up to have a room for a night or two or three. Then having to eat out. Wasn't able to cook and stuff. Having to eat out. You know, that was a lot. I lost everything. I lost everything but the clothes I had on my back.
Robert L. Likes: KeyBank has an unwavering, deep commitment to affordable housing. Our mission and our objectives are to be a national leader in affordable housing, to help the bank always achieve an outstanding CRA rating. To be a major contributor to our community benefits plan and to help our clients and communities thrive.
Erica Haize: We need more affordable housing in this community. So, people are struggling with that a lot. We saw the need of helping people be part of a great community.
Kevin Loos: NRP made an initiative into housing and health care, and so we've created a few projects across the nation, partnering with hospitals to provide housing and health care. You’re next to the healthcare community, next to primary care doctors, next to emergency room help, and really it becomes a more of a wraparound type of service, being right next to the campus.
Robert L. Likes: It's adjacent to a hospital to help with healthy initiatives. It also has community space within the Affordable Housing project that provides job counseling, financial literacy training, digital training, all for the betterment of the tenants and the surrounding community, to help really uplift lives.
Stephanice Washington: The day I got the phone call that I could come in and pick up my keys, was the best thing that ever happened for me.
Erica Haize: This was like a steppingstone for them. Some of them, like I said, were homeless. They start living here, their lives change. Their family can see that their life is changing. And to come in a building like this, and having something so nice and brand new for the first time, it's life changing.
Stephanice Washington: Before I came to Via Sana, my whole check went on my light, my gas, my rent. Since I've been at Via Sana, I'm able to save up, so I'm able to go to Walmart and buy me a month's worth of food from my income now.
Erica Haize: I hope we can partner more so we can keep making a change in the community.
Robert Likes: Affordable Housing changes lives. There are so many positive, healthy outcomes and economic upward mobility, when you have a permanent residence that is safe, decent, clean, affordable, that is your home.
Stephanice Washington: My new apartment is my serenity, my peace, and my home.
